Browning 425 clay hunter Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 You try running something with an Italian or British V12 DOHC fuel injected and tell me that you wouldn't be worried about the black hole money pit The thread is about what car you would buy if money is no object. Not what car wouldn't you buy because instead your CAPTAIN SENSIBLE. some people are too serious to let their imagination have a little fun. Also the chances are a V12 would be quad cam as it would have 2 cams per head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I've had them, Rollers, mustangs, trans am, several 'vettes, I used to import them, Aston, jags its over rated, believe me. Friends have still got Ferraris and the like, but they are not the fun they appear to be. Now a motorbike, thats fun............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning 425 clay hunter Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Now a motorbike, thats fun............. Completely agree, I had a pillion ride on an R1 about 5 months ago. My chocolate starfish has only just stopped twitching like a rabbits nose. Complete adrenalin rush. Hopefully I will be doing my licence in the near future. Edited January 25, 2013 by Browning 425 clay hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonno243 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Without question a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/4. The most beatiful vehicle Ferrari ever produced, which is to say the most beautiful car that ANYONE ever produced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) You have answered your own question there, its the difference between a drivers car and posers car Although they don't appeal to me either, I totally get why people like the understated looks and let face it in some cases supercar beating performance. In the same way a Caterham R500 would embarrass almost all of the cars mentioned so far. Like the otehrs that have replied IF I had the choice, I would a have few cars for different occasions. I am not a huge Ferrari fan but I had go in this 360 on a few months ago, I have to concede it does sound amazing and goes like the proverbial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7D1qGN18lE That noise made the hairs on my neck stick up. Must be the sign of a proper petrol head. Fantastic! EDIT: If I had all the money in the world I would buy a Hyundai though!

Dunkield Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Sorry complete typo on my part, meant 917. If we are talking Le Mans cars, I will take your Porsche 917 and raise you the Jaguar XJR 12 I can't find the clip now but it's there on YouTube somewhere the most amazing engine note I have ever heard. Edit: similar sound. If you don't get this, you are probably already dead and arguably the most '10/10' qualifying lap from the late great Tom Walkinshaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 TVR Tuscan 2, and an Aerial Atom. Plus a few others, probably! I don't care if the Tuscan breaks down all the time, I'd just look at it, and listen to the engine note. Also, I saw a (the?) Jag XJ13 at Goodwood one year, that was nice and unusual, and sounded great. I could find room for it in my garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
